Share our beautiful vineyard for your special day. In the calm surrounds of the Opihi Valley we have created a quiet haven.

Wedding Ceremony Venue

In the serene Opihi Valley we have the most stunning setting for your big day. We believe that the venue sets the tone for any wedding and the vineyard and historic Clifton Cottage offer a beautiful backdrop for your ceremony. We are the perfect place to start your married life and photo opportunities abound.

Located 30 minutes West of Timaru in the lee of the Two Thumb Range the vineyard is nestled in a limestone valley providing perfect growing conditions for grapes.

Sweeping lawns, a tree lined driveway and numerous sites for your ceremony offer all you could wish for in a wedding venue. Hear the birdsong in our Woodland wedding area or gaze at the rows of vines from our Avenue of Trees setting, the choice is yours.

We have a fantastic outdoor bar and stunning patio area with an outdoor fireplace. We have many props to enhance your day including wine barrels, a rustic drinks barrow and vintage games for the front lawn.

We will organise canapes or platters for your after ceremony drinks and whilst we do not have receptions onsite we can assist with suggesting options that might work well as we have numerous contacts in the local area.

Small, intimate functions are our specialty and our team will create a magical setting on our patio in front of the outdoor fireplace or in our large conservatory.
